Built Big Bertha # 4 today to take out West with me to Dryden in a few weeks. Wanted a feeder that would spread corn in one direction because some of the big bucks won't jump in the feed pens. Got a Krivoman directional unit, some steel, and an old 80 gallon air tank.... Began this AM at around 8....

Got the drain hole cut and extension pipe welded in place.

Laying out legs on skid pipe.

Cut down original Krivoman feeder plate to make it fit.

Got tank leveled and then added the legs.

Feeder unit welded in place.

Was going to build a bigger cage with a door, but didn't want to pay the $69 for the 2"x4" panel so I said let's just roll with it and what I had. Welded it all in, and figure if it needs fixing, I'll just bring it back in one day and cut it out.

Used a steel wheel that I cut in half for the opening hatch and made a lid from plate and flat strap.

Got base coat of paint on just before dark. Gonna add some camo and a few extra details tomorrow. Will try her out to see how far she shoots corn before I paint tomorrow and I'll post video then.

First test run with the unit and ran it for 5 seconds. Got corn out to 14 yards and I'd say 50% was in the first 10 feet, but for the set-up I'm very happy. Going to modify the front of the cage a little, but she's almost done!

I'm happy with it. Id rather have half the corn close to the feeder and better coon security. The deer will eat it up, and I just want a little to be thrown outside the feed pen to entice the weary bucks to come on in.

I have used a lot of different feeders over the years, and I have to say that the Krivoman unit is the most robust and well built unit that I have eve used. Highly recommend his feeders.
